Went through pulling my RM182B out, cleaning, and inspecting as per Frank Condelli's marvelous instructions (http://www.frankcondelli.com/fridge.htm), but it has gone from weak flame to no-flame. I can hear gas flowing (with a tube held to the open drain). I can see a spark most clicks. I've tried the AC pre-cool trick, which worked wonders before I laid hands on it. I got one, and only one "pop". I'm wondering if I bumped or miss-aligned the piezo sparker in the combustion chamber. Does anyone have a picture or experience aligning it with the burner tube? I did find one picture (http://www.flickr.com/photos/werksforwagens/368330574/in/set-72157594499353583/), but most mentioned in the archives have drifted off into neverland. Thanks, |
